Garden: The Yogi, the Sanyasi...


The Yogi, the Sanyasi, the Ascetics, are disputing one with another: Kabîr says, "O brother! He who has seen that radiance of LOVED, he is SAVED."

Where to next: LOVE or SALVATION?

Yogi. You can read about yogi practitioners at Wikipedia: Yogi, and also about the practice of Yoga itself.

Sanyasi. The Sanyasi follows the path of Sannyasa, renunciation.

Ascetic. This English term is used to translate Sadhu.

Here is the full poem:

XIII

II. 37. angadhiyâ devâ

  O Lord Increate, who will serve Thee?
  Every votary offers his worship to the God of his own creation:
    each day he receives service—
  None seek Him, the Perfect: Brahma, the Indivisible Lord.
  They believe in ten Avatars; but no Avatar can be the Infinite
    Spirit, for he suffers the results of his deeds:
  The Supreme One must be other than this.
  The Yogi, the Sanyasi, the Ascetics, are disputing one with
    another:
  Kabîr says, "O brother! he who has seen that radiance of love,
    he is saved."
